Canada Red Cross says prepare now for the 21st-WTF!

Well here in Long Island, NY we just got a call from county warning us of bad weather coming this way and to expect winds up to 60mph from 3.00am to 10.00am and to take the usual precautions due to possible falling trees etc. Only other time ever we got a warning like this was just before Sandy hit. Not saying it's alarming - but interesting nevertheless.

WTF? You're right! From weather underground:

... Wind Advisory in effect from 4 am to 10 am EST Friday...

The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a WindAdvisory... which is in effect from 4 am to 10 am EST Friday.

* Timing... winds will increase this evening... with the strongestwinds expected between 3 and 10 am Friday morning.

* Impacts... winds of this magnitude could down trees and powerlines... resulting in power outages.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory is issued when sustained winds of 31 to 39 mph...or gusts of 46 to 57 mph... are expected or occurring. Winds thisstrong can make driving difficult... especially for high profilevehicles. Use extra caution.

(Ottawa, December 19, 2012) - The Red Cross is urging Canadians to prepare for the end of the world this week. After surviving a near-miss when Halley’s Comet failed to be pulled into Earth’s orbit in 1986 as predicted, and avoiding the ruinous effects of Y2K, Earth’s inhabitants again face the prospect of a calamitous end of the world.

Compounded in deception, and secrets covered in truth.Left behind, lost in a world of false hope and reality. Wondering spiritually… with never a clear point of direction. Why on earth would you allow your own sacred perceptions to the vibration of cowardly existence? How can the physical limitations not keep the presence of this connection from manifesting into your very own existence? In a physical reality,this is past the point of anything possible. My energy is taking over my every physical instinct, past the point of third dimensional realization. Can one simply “be” in another reality feeling the same frequencies as another source, and cease to find solitude in anything third dimensional? I have yet to conquer the merely simple material happiness. I was never able to absorb the code within the harmony of achieving the things that co-exist with the third dimension. I don’t expand and flow with things I can see in an obvious delusion of perceptions. I can only connect with the perceptions that over-ride any material manifestation. That connection is found with only one, Is it you I seek within the balance of my eternity? ~Aiya~

SO, the Canadian Red Cross is very serious...

How much does it cost that 3 days survival kit they are promoting because of the 21 of Dec?

"The Red Cross urges Canadians to be ready to take care of themselves and their families for 72 hours in any emergency," said Denis Dion, national director of disaster management with the Canadian Red Cross. "Two-thirds of Canadians say they have not taken steps to prepare for a disaster."

Various organizations are predicting the end of the world December 21, with scenarios including geomagnetic reversal, collision with an interplanetary object, destruction by a supernova, and global annihilation as predicted by the Mesoamerican calendar.

"While NASA scientists assure us the world will not end on Friday, disasters can and do happen every day in Canada," adds Dion. "The Red Cross encourages Canadians to prepare for more commonplace emergencies like house fires, natural disasters and epidemics."
